Works great! Great price!
Works great! So far I’ve had a 93.33% success rate and have only lost 2 eggs that were shipped and 1 that was a double yolk out of 45 eggs. Heat stays consistent and regains quickly after opening. No gauge for humidity but neither does a broody hen! Very very easy to use except to water bottle flip leaves a few drips behind. Cleaning is pretty easy. Holds 12 chicken eggs and rotates perfectly.So happy I bought this instead of the pricey big brand every uses.

Great product
Very satisfied with my incubator. I bought it a few months ago and it still works very well. It comes with instructions on how to use it, but it's very easy, and with very good results. Good product.

Really simple incubator !
The media could not be loaded. The setup was super easy, but the instructions weren’t very thorough so a few things I had to figure out, but for the most part it’s working great, especially for how cheap it is. My bedroom can get pretty cold but it’s keeping its heat perfectly, as long as you leave the styrofoam on the bottom.The egg turner works great! Which I really love. Every two hours it turns.The water bottle humidity thing is super light so I wouldn’t trust a water bottle to sit on it, I just pour a little bit of water when it’s looking dry in there. The incubator doesn’t have an accurate monitor or humidity monitor at all so make sure you buy a little one to put in there, even if the incubator isn’t cheap I still have one or two for every incubator just to be really safe!This incubator has every basic need and I totally recommend it! I’ll update this when hatch day rolls around. 🤞

Would recommend for QUAIL, not chickens
I bought this in the middle of a set of eggs that were already incubating (my old incubator was starting to go out). When this one came in, I had a couple days of incubation left before lockdown so my review can only reflect a few days of incubation and the lockdown & hatching.Incubation - this was easier to maintain the humidity around 45-50% than my other incubator (large styrofoam one). Humidity is always the biggest pain so that was nice.This cute little house incubator has a way to turn the eggs but I did not get a chance to use it as I simply manually rolled them because I had a couple incubation days left.The temperature was easy to adjust. It shows in Celcius so I simply dropped two tiny temp/humidity thermometers in the incubator so I could watch the levels.To adjust the temp all you have to do is press the gear symbol and then push the + or -, then wait and it will stop flashing and set at the new temp.I did not use the candler.You can definitely hear the fan. I tuned it out pretty quick as just background noise, it may bother some people though.The water tray reservoir is very easy to fill and you do not have to open the incubator up to add it.Lockdown/Hatching -For coturnix quail I need to bring the humidity up to 65 to 75%. I was able to get it up there by completely filling the reservoir and adding a folded up paper towel inside (presoaked with water). It did drop a little on me up until they starting hatching.I really appreciate this design even though it only holds a small amount of eggs because the clear viewing windows on the sides make it easier to monitor the progress and as an added bonus the baby chicks came over and huddled at the window to watch me.When you remove chicks after they have dried out and still have some hatching inside, it does lose heat and humidity (which again is normal for incubators). I appreciated that this one has an alarm when the heat gets too far off of the setting you set. The alarm goes off and continue to go off until it reaches temp again.I would recommend if you buy this that:1.) you get a tiny humidity/temp thermometer for in this to double check the temps it is reading inside while in use (regardless of which incubator(s) you use you should never trust its sensors, that is a quick way to loose an entire set of eggs)2.) I think like... maybe you could fit 6 chicken eggs in here... maybe. This is better suited to quail and other small bird eggs.3.) I used water to presoak the paper towel I placed it in to boost humidity during lockdown and help maintain it. I did notice that the paper towel directly in the center of the tray had browned edges on the upper part (not sure if it was being scorched?) so I would say place any pieces of paper towel by the clear edges so you can see it and so it is farther from the heat.4.) Make sure anytime you have get into this that you make sure it is reseated properly on the base/bottom tray so that it doesn't leak humidity and heat.Other thoughts:I wish that it had a switch to turn a light on inside the incubator to see into it easier (if it has one I missed it).I accidently overfilled the reservoir and it spilled over the side onto the counter so be careful not to overfill it.I paid about 30 or 35 dollars for this and I think it was well worth it. I will definitely keep using it. I do think that unless you are doing a super small amount of chicken eggs that you won't find it very useful.I also would worry that the chicken chicks could possibly get burned on top of their head maybe... given how low the ceiling is and how tall they would be. You could definitely still use this to incubate and hatch up you would want to have a separate brooder set up and at temp already going and waiting so you can remove them immediately upon hatch to place in the brooder.

Does not get to temperature. Do not trust what the display tells you.
Does not get to temperature.I have tried it all. I have the incubator set at 103° F, the incubator claims it is 102°F. I wanted to know the moisture so I bought a separate thermometer with a hydrometer, and the temperature is 96°F. I even switched thermometers to verify. Aure enough its 96°F.Not happy. The poor babies are likely to die even after i transfer them to a functional incubator. Ill be getting a refund for this product.

Perfect for small farmers/Hobbiest
It's amazing for the price. I have had several hatches run through. I'll be buying more soon.

Hatched a rejected egg
Broody mama was not so good at being a broody mama. After 2 broken eggs, we moved the final to the incubator on day 18. Hatched with no issue! Was amazing to watch! Easy set up & clean up. Very impressed.

It’s decent
Works, had about a 50-60% hatch rate. Works best with smaller size eggs not medium to large. Also it’s a little hard to line up the lid and get it to close completely.
